BEEF AND BELL PEPPER STEW
Köttgryta med paprika

Surprise the family with a stew of beef and bell peppers, flavoured with sherry and ginger.

4 servings

1 lb very, very thin slices of beef

1 ¼ cups long-grained rice
1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow bell pepper
2 celery stems
1 onion
1 tablespoon rapeseed oil

Marinade:

2/3 cup Chinese soy sauce
1/3 cup sherry or chicken bouillon
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger
or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
black pepper

Start by mixing soy sauce and sherry or bouillon for the marinade in a bowl. Crush the garlic and stir in ginger and black pepper. Finely shred the meat and put it in the marinade. Cover and store cold while you cook the rest.

Boil the rice according to package instructions. Rinse, trim and shred the sweet peppers and chop the celery and the onion. Heat up a frying pan or a wok and warm the oil. Take up the meat and wipe it off (save remaining marinade). Fry the meat for a minute or so until no longer red. Add sweet peppers, celery and onion and let it all sizzle together for about 5 minutes.

Pour on the marinade and bring to a quick boil. The vegetables should still be crisp. Serve immediately with the rice.

Enjoy!
